“in the field of science-fiction, where supermachines and dull physics texts have all too often obscured life and laughter, the stories of L. Sprague de Camp come as a refreshing surprise, A freshness of approach and an irrepressible sense of humor–ranging from subtle humorous overtones to broad slapstick burlesque–enliven his stories, and he has rightfully been regarded as a master in blending fantastic themes with rib-tickling situations.
